Developing a Global Sizing Chart: How ACBUY Spreadsheets Can Streamline Shoe Purchases
2025-07-07
Purchasing shoes internationally or through proxy shopping services like ACBUY can be challenging due to inconsistent sizing standards across regions. To reduce sizing errors, refunds, and customer dissatisfaction, we propose creating a universal shoe sizing spreadsheet
The Problem: Sizing Confusion in Cross-Border Shopping
Common issues include:
- EU 38/US 7 shoes fitting differently across brands like Nike vs. Gucci
- Asian sizes often running smaller than Western equivalents
- UK, US, and EU size conversions not being standardized
The ACBUY Spreadsheet Solution
Our proposed interactive sizing spreadsheet
- Include over 50 major shoe brands
- Auto-convert between US/EU/UK/JP/CN sizing systems with dropdown menus
- Contain brand-specific foot width adjustments (wide/narrow lasts)
- Enable users to input foot measurements in cm/mm for precise matching
US Size | EU Size | Foot Length (cm) |
---|---|---|
5.0 | 38.0 | 23.5 cm |
7.5 | 40.5 | .025.5 cm |
Implementation Benefits
This crowdsourced tool would help ACBUY shoppers by:
- 20% reduction in returns
- Saving 3-5 business days
- Providing clear updates when brands change their sizing standards
To maximize effectiveness, we recommend building this spreadsheet with Google Sheets for real-time collaboration, complete with visual reference guides
